The
Acting Chief Judge of Abia state, Justice Shadrack O.E. Nwanosike has been
sacked over the falsification of his date of birth. Justice Nwanosike was
sacked on Monday, after investigations revealed that Nwanosike faked his date
of birth which invariably affected his retirement age. He was subsequently
ordered to embark on a compulsory retirement.

action was part of the recommendation of the council at its meeting presided by
the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, held on July 17 and 18.
